Greg Clement shot an even-par 72 on Sunday to maintain his lead in the final round of Vicksburg Country Club Championship, and earn his second straight tournament title.

Clement, who was playing in the tournament for the fifth time, finished with a three-round total of 214. That was two strokes better than Eddie Buckner, who also shot a 72 on Sunday and finished at 216.

The rest of the field had a hard time catching up to Clement and Buckner on a hot Sunday afternoon.
